 Optimal number of threads depends on the size of the L3 cache of CPU.
 
 * For **cryptonight** it's **2 MB** or **4 MB** (lower power mode) per thread.
-* For **cryptonight-lite** it's **1 MB** or **2 MB** (lower power mode) per thread.

+* For **cryptonight-lite** it's **1 MB** or **2 MB** (lower power mode) per thread.
+
+## Options
+By default, XMRig try choice optimal threads settings for current CPU with very estimated maximum CPU load 75% (`--max-cpu-usage=75`).
+
+```
+-a, --algo=ALGO       cryptonight (default) or cryptonight-lite
+```
+If you want use CryptoNight-Lite (AEON) you should specify this option `--algo=cryptonight-lite`. For cryptonight (Monero) it's option optional.
+
+```
+-t, --threads=N       number of miner threads
+```
+Manually specified number of threads. With `--safe` option this number can be automatically reduced to not to exceed the optimal thread count.
+
+```
+-v, --av=N            algorithm variation, 0 auto select\n\
+```
+
+```
+    --cpu-affinity    set process affinity to cpu core(s), mask 0x3 for cores 0 and 1
+```
+
+```
+    --max-cpu-usage=N maximum cpu usage for automatic threads mode (default 75)\n\
+```
+
+```
+    --safe            safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU
+```
